Life Changing Events
Well since I've update last there has been a whole series of Life Changing Events going on. The DH changed jobs to a lower paying *scary* job but it has the potential to do more for him in the long run. He likes it so far but is grumbling like a Fat Kid in a Health Food Store right because they've forced him to 2nd Shift until the end of June to cover some goof ball's vacation. I remind him constantly that AT LEAST IT'S NOT WALMART!!! That usually shuts him up.
Next on the list is the fact that we finally gave up the ghost on keeping our house and moved. Yes, it went up for sale at Sheriff's auction and we moved into a rental. It's not a bad place and my family has been super generous in helping with the move and finding new stuff for the house. It's honestly in a better neighborhood. The girls didn't have to change schools, though I wish they would get out more and find friends in the area. There is a little girl Imp's age and grade next door but it turns out they are bitter enemies... just our luck. I actually have to spend most of tonight going around and really straightening and cleaning tonight. We've promised ourselves and open door policy here. We want family and friends to visit so that means we need to keep it neat. Now if I could just get the rest of this mad bunch to follow suit.........
Next on the life changing events... my last grandmother passed away the day before her 76th birthday. I have extremely mixed emotions about it as well. We knew that she had breast cancer and she had wanted to let it go and die a natural death but my Aunts didnt' like that idea and pushed for treatment. The treatment is what killed her. I have no doubts in my mind. Once she started them her old body couldn't take it and she was dead within less than a month's time. She also, it seems, in retaliation for cleaning up after her natural kids and grandkids; didn't leave any kind of Will. Which if you've ever been in that situation means a nasty mess. I don't expect anything. Don't really want anything. But I do believe that all the stuff that belonged to my great-grandparents should go to my mom and her brothers. Her kids don't deserve the right to them. They weren't MY GRANDFATHER'S natural kids. And I know I shouldn't split things that way but believe me despite towing the party line while alive once grandpa died the line was drawn and enforced. I've said it on here before that my Grandpa would be appalled at the way his great grand kids were ignored in favor of hers.
On a happier front and yet still a life changing event. We finally got high-speed internet and I got on Facebook after much prodding. So far I don't see what the big freaking deal is about Facebook but I love the fast downloads of HighSpeed..
That's it for now. I'm heading back into the fic world for a bit.
